Todd and the girl take what supplies they need and leave. The girl’s dead parents are still in the ship. The girl takes Todd to the wreckage of her spaceship, and Todd realizes she must have crash-landed on New World. Todd, Manchee, and the girl escape further through the swamp. He has the choice to kill Aaron with his knife, but he doesn’t go through with it. Todd and Aaron fight hand to hand, but Todd gains the upper hand. Not long after, Aaron finds them again and attacks. They manage to communicate enough to patch up the girl’s small injuries. She doesn’t speak, so he’s not sure if she understands him. Todd and Manchee escape, only to come face to face with the hole in the Noise.
Todd is about to stab Aaron with the hunting knife, but Aaron is attacked by a crocodile. In the swamp, Todd comes across the priest Aaron and discovers it was actually Aaron’s Noise, not his own, who alerted the town to the hole in the Noise. While Cillian remains at the farm to stall Davy Prentiss (the Mayor’s son), Ben takes Todd and Manchee away, giving them a bag of supplies, a map, Todd’s mother’s journal, and a hunting knife. In fact, they had already been secretly planning for this eventuality. They announce Todd must leave Prentisstown immediately. Ben and Cillian are instantly worried because the other men of the town will hear about it from Todd’s Noise. He rushes home and tells his adoptive parents, Ben and Cillian, about the hole. One day when Todd is out with his dog, Manchee, he discovers a place in the swamp where there is a hole in the Noise: silence. Humanity won the war, killing all the Spackle, but the side effects of the Germ remained: All the men and animals could hear each other’s thoughts in a phenomenon called Noise. (A year on New World is 13 months long.) There are no women in Prentisstown, and Todd has been told they were all killed by the Germ, a weapon released by the Spackle (the native species) during a war not long after Todd was born. Todd is the youngest in the town, though he is only one month away from his 13 th birthday, when he will officially become a man. Todd Hewitt lives in Prentisstown on New World, a planet recently colonized by humanity. ***** Everything below is a SPOILER ***** What happened in The Knife of Never Letting Go?
